Montvale Trails
What you can expect: 6.75 miles of entirely wooded single track trails highlight this emerging park in Montvale, Va. Most stream crossings have foot bridges or are easily forded. Wildlife in this area include deer, turkey, squirrels and maybe even a coyote or 2. While the rest of the park is still in the development stage the trail system is complete and ideal for mountain biking, trail running and hiking. The trailhead parking area is only 1.5 miles from Rt. 460 in Montvale making it easy to get out enjoy some of the best trails in the area. You can also park at the bottom baseball field behind the elementary school. You’ll skirt around the perimeter of the large field, take a left at opening to the creek crossing and there is a footbridge you can cross or you can ride across the creek.
